Ken Buck, Weld County District Attorney, is a familiar name to Republicans because of his candidacy race for the United States Senate in 2010.

Buck continues to champion and be committed to the principles of liberty, free markets, limited government and fiscal restraint. Definitely for the long haul, Ken’s commitment is to the conservative cause. We are honored that Ken will be speaking at the April 10 meeting of the Archuleta County Republican Women (ACRW) on the topic of “Balance America.”

Buck’s background is impressive, beginning with receiving an undergraduate degree from Princeton University in 1981 and his juris doctorate from the University of Wyoming School of Law in 1985.

In 1986, Rep. Dick Cheney hired Buck to work on the Iran-Contra Investigation. Following that assignment, he worked as a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C. In 1990, Buck joined the Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office where he became the chief of the Criminal Division.

ARCW has had the privilege of having Perry Buck, Ken’s wife, speak at our meeting in the past. Perry Buck is the newly-elected president of the Colorado Federation of Republican Women.

We are also excited to announce that ACRW is sponsoring “The Making of America,” a constitutional study, on April 28, by Dr. Earl Taylor of the National Center for Constitutional Studies. The program will take place 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at the Lutheran Church. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students, which includes lunch. Please contact Barbara Rawlings for ticket information at 731-9916.

All are welcome to join us at the ACRW meeting April 10 at Boss Hogg’s Restaurant from noon to 1:30 p.m.
